Life isn't fair

Texas man freed by DNA after 15 years in prison. Life isn't fair that someone was sent to jail for 15 years for a crime they did not commit. Such is the justice system.

Life isn't fair that the judge made me solely financially responsible for our joint debts during the marriage and gave me no leniency on anything despite me being the one psychologically abused in the marriage. Such is the State of America. There is no justice.

Sometimes I don't even want to work anymore. Most of what I make, after paying bills and taxes, goes to my ex-wife. What's the point of working if you can't spend time with your kids and have nothing left for savings. I have standard custody, which is very limited.

Sometimes I just want to re-enlist in the Army. My persona is more of a blue collar type of guy. I don't like working in an office. I get antsy sitting all day. My parents would never let me take a blue collar job growing up (as a long term prospect). But I've always enjoyed doing it more than office work.

My mother and many other blue collar workers have the misconception that working in an office is an easy life. No, it is not. I have to rack my brains quite a bit, everyday. If you want to know what it is like working the job I do, think about working on solving complex math problems with 100 unknown variables in the system, every day, 8 hours a day and people putting pressure on you to solve it faster to hit deadlines. And they get on your case when you make mistakes. You see the fun? In addition, there a lot of office politics going on.

I don't know about you but it didn't seem like I made any more money, because it disappeared through the wife (when we were married). And now it disappears when I have to pay all the bills she racked up, the judge made me solely responsible, plus full child support. If I'm not going to have be making any money, I might as well take a job that doesn't put that much stress on my brain. A lot of people don't realize how my head hurts sometimes when I have to solve these problems at work, while totally neglecting my body during the work day. It is not an easy job, like my mother and many blue collar types think.

I rather have a job where my body is utilized and my brain occasionally needed.
